Not for use with PLA.
The SeeMeCNC Jet Kit for their HE280 hotend is only intended for use with higher temp materials such as Nylon and Polycarbonate. High temp materials such as these do not need the PTFE liner to reach nearly as far into the heat break as PLA and ABS do, and SeeMeCNC designed this jet to move the liner up and away from the heat break while increasing the melt zone.
To install, you will need to remove the top mounting PTC adapter of the HE280 and thread this jet in place then reassemble the PTC adapter. The detailed picture shows in red the jet installed in the hotend.

Questions
I'm not sure I fully understand the need for this product since the HE280 is designed to reach, well, 280 degrees out of the box, for printing nylon and the like. I also notice the warning on this product description that the jet should not be used for PLA. Since I plan to print with both, could i seek some clarification on why PLA is not recommended with the new Jet kit?
If the printer is to be used by students who may alternate between low temp and high temp materials, would an all-metal hot end like the e3d v6 be a better choice? I'm concerned about students not remembering to switch the kit in and out. Thanks.
What temperature would this allow the printer to reach?
Does this help metallic, bronze and steel filaments?
This helps with printing at higher temperatures, but can also print abrasives like the ones you mentioned.
